Step 2: Installing the Switch

You can install your NETGEAR Model GSM7212 Managed Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet Switch on a flat

surface or in a standard 19-inch rack.

Installing the Switch on a Flat Surface

The switch ships with four self-adhesive rubber footpads. Stick one rubber footpad on each of the four

concave spaces on the bottom of the switch. The rubber footpads cushion the switch against

shock/vibrations.

Installing the Switch in a Rack

To install the switch in a rack, use the following procedure (and refer to Figure 3-1). To perform this

procedure, you need the 19-inch rack-mount kit supplied with your switch.

1. Attach the supplied mounting brackets to the side of the switch.

2. Insert the screws provided in the rack-mount kit through each bracket and into the bracket mounting

holes in the switch.

3. Tighten the screws with a #1 Phillips screwdriver to secure each bracket.

4. Align the mounting holes in the brackets with the holes in the rack, and insert two pan-head screws with

nylon washers through each bracket and into the rack.

5. Tighten the screws with a #2 Phillips screwdriver to secure the switch in the rack.

Before you apply power:

o Inspect the equipment thoroughly.

o Verify that all cables are installed correctly.

o Check cable routing to make sure cables are not damaged or create a safety hazard.

o Be sure all equipment is mounted properly and securely.

Do not restrict airflow by covering or obstructing air inlets on the sides of the

switch. Keep at least 2 inches (5.08 centimeters) free on all sides for cooling.

Be sure there is adequate airflow in the room or wiring closet where you intend

to install the switch.

Keep the switch at least 6 ft (1.83 m) away from nearest source of

electromagnetic noise, such as a photocopy machine.
